public class AgentSmith_Offering
extends OfferingStrategy

This is the decoupled Offering Strategy for AgentSmith (ANAC2010). The code was taken from the ANAC2010 AgentSmith and adapted to work within the BOA framework. Using another opponent model strategy makes no sense for this agent. DEFAULT OM: SmithFrequencyModel Decoupling Negotiating Agents to Explore the Space of Negotiation Strategies T. Baarslag, K.
